Ghost Employees and Payroll Fraud: How BGV Can Keep Corporate Losses at Bay
In most boardrooms, the discussion of fraud revolves around high-dollar risks—financial fraud, data theft, or cyber breaches. But under the radar is a quieter, insidious drain on corporate coffers: payroll fraud. Of its many varieties, the most subtle and pernicious is the fabrication of “ghost employees.” A ghost employee is not a spooky apparition haunting…

From Kiranas to Corporates: Expanding The Scope of BGV in India
Trust in India has always been deeply personal. For decades, a kirana owner hired staff because a neighbour vouched for them. A family chose a domestic help based on word-of-mouth from the colony. Even large businesses leaned heavily on personal networks and references. Formal verification was rare, expensive, and considered necessary only in the highest…

No Blind Spots in Leadership: Executive Background Check Matters
Recruiting an executive isn’t quite like recruiting a mid-level or junior employee. Senior positions have gravitas—these are people who craft vision, engineer growth, and make decisions that will cause a company to grow or fail.

Trust Across the Employee Lifecycle: From Pre-Hiring to Exit
When people talk about workplace culture, they often mention engagement, belonging, or even perks. But if you peel away the layers, what truly powers the employee experience is trust.

Stopping Employee Fraud Before Day One: Hiring Leader’s Guide
On the surface, he was the perfect hire. Five years of experience, glowing recommendations, and a calm, confident demeanor that instantly won over the interview panel. The role was urgent, the team was short-staffed, and the offer went out within days. Three months later, the finance department noticed irregularities in vendor payments. By the time…

Verification in the Generative AI Era — Risks and the Road Ahead
A senior banker in Singapore gets what looks like a routine video call. It’s from the CEO of a corporate client he’s known for years — salt-and-pepper hair, easy half-smile, even that little habit of tapping a pen when he’s making a point. The CEO sounds rushed. “I need you to move a large sum…

Reputation is Hired, Not Built: Rethinking Trust in Hiring Process
For years, the hiring process followed a predictable sequence. A role opened, résumés were collected, candidates were shortlisted, interviews were held, and the best person on paper got the offer. Reputation? That was assumed to grow organically — forged over time through workplace achievements, interactions, and long-term performance. That sequence feels almost quaint now. Modern…
